With the late summer sun beaming down and cheesy steal drum music playing over the speakers he lounged back on the pool's side and smiled, thinking 'God yesssss... the project is done early and the company doesn't want to pay for us to fly back early... one splendid afternoon by the pool, what else could someone ask f...'

"TOY!" The word beamed as brightly as the coat of it's speaker. Maybe if she wasn't so brightly coloured and not coming out of the sun he would have seen her sooner and been able to get out of the way, and explain that he wasn't some normal float. He instead got to gaze on the pinks of snow leopardess' fur as she came falling out of the air to land on her new found float sitting out on its own and away from everyone else, clearly abandoned right? Might as well check and make sure it's tough with some claws too. At least his popper was cute.


Well, if you read the description on the new ref, that lasted long enough to get down to the pool and not much longer. When  Cari said she could take not only the ref, but this piece with her character Strawbs I was excited enough to squeal. Thankfully I wasn't out in public, I'd hate for people to hear me make that noise. More amazing work from her, and now with an adorable partner for this piece, even if she's hissing my character up a bit. take a look at her submission, or go check out her twitter and show the rest of her account some love too!

P.S. about half of the squeak work (4-5 ideas) I've seen from her, has her characters puncturing pooltoy'd versions of her fans... I wonder what that says about us.
